The Game Paradise Fair 2026
The Spielwiesn is South Germany’s flagship games fair, now held at the Messe Augsburg from 6‑8 November 2026. Over three days the event transforms three exhibition halls into a "games paradise" for families, hobbyists and professionals. Core attractions include a Riesenspielothek with roughly 4,000 board, card and role‑playing games that visitors can browse and play, plus a dedicated Pen‑Paper arena for tabletop RPGs. The Science Playground offers hands‑on MINT workshops, VR experiences and experimental stations aimed at younger audiences. Competitive programming features tournament tables and championships such as the German Catan Masters. Around 200 exhibitors showcase new releases, classic titles and accessories, while volunteer "game explainers" help newcomers learn rules. The fair also hosts a Spielepartnerbörse for solo players seeking partners, a "Generationenspiel" quality seal ceremony, and evening events like the Long Night of Games. Overall, Spielwiesn blends retail, play, education and community in a high‑energy, family‑friendly environment.
